Pride International, Inc. Reports Fourth Quarter and
Full Year 2009 Financial Results

     HOUSTON, February 18, 2010 — Pride International, Inc. (NYSE: PDE) today reported a loss from continuing operations, net of tax, for the three months ended December 31, 2009 of $23.2 million, or $0.13 per diluted share. Results for the quarter included the previously announced accrual of $56.2 million relating to the possible resolution with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of potential liability under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and a tax benefit of $5.1 million resulting from a change in the interpretation of foreign tax law. Excluding these items, the company had income from continuing operations, net of tax, for the three months ended December 31, 2009 of $27.9 million, or $0.16 per diluted share. The fourth quarter 2009 results compared to income from continuing operations, net of tax, for the corresponding three months in 2008 of $172.4 million, or $0.99 per diluted share. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2009 totaled $316.7 million compared to $490.2 million during the corresponding three months in 2008.

     A net loss was reported for the three months ended December 31, 2009 of $32.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, including a loss from discontinued operations of $9.6 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. Net income for the three months ended December 31, 2008 totaled $234.7 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, including income from discontinued operations of $62.3 million, or $0.36 per diluted share.

     For the year ended December 31, 2009, income from continuing operations, net of tax, totaled $340.3 million, or $1.92 per diluted share, while net income totaled $285.8 million, or $1.61 per diluted share, including a loss from discontinued operations of $54.5 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. For the year ended December 31, 2008, income from continuing operations, net of tax, was $508.7 million, or $2.89 per diluted share. Net income for 2008 was $851.1 million, or $4.83 per diluted share, including income from discontinued operations of $342.4 million, or $1.94 per diluted share. Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2009 totaled $1,594.2 million compared to $1,702.6 million for 2008.

     Louis A. Raspino, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pride International, Inc., commented, “Fourth quarter 2009 operating results were in line with our expectations, reflecting

the impact of planned fleet out-of-service time, with the continuation of shipyard projects from the third quarter on thePride North AmericaandPride South Pacific, and the mobilization of theSea Explorerto Brazil. These events contributed to lower utilization for the Deepwater and Midwater segments of 75% and 55%, respectively, in the fourth quarter, below the average utilization for both segments during the first nine months of 2009. Our earnings level in the fourth quarter of 2009 is expected to represent a quarterly trough as 2010 benefits from lower planned out-of-service days, especially in our deepwater fleet, and the earnings contribution for a portion of 2010 from the first of our four ultra-deepwater drillships.”

     Continuing on the financial results, Raspino noted, “The $56.2 million accrual reflected in the fourth quarter reported results is our best estimate of an amount that could be necessary to settle financial obligations to the DOJ and SEC. We voluntarily disclosed this matter to the DOJ and SEC in 2006 and have cooperated with their investigations ever since. Although the timing of a final settlement is difficult to predict, the accrual is a good indication of progress toward this long-awaited outcome.”

     “The company enters 2010 with excellent contract coverage for our floating rig fleet, including 100% of available days under contract for our eight deepwater rigs, a revenue backlog of $6.9 billion, representing revenues of approximately $1.4 billion in 2010, an improving mix of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) with our Deepwater Segment contributing 69% of total EBITDA in the fourth quarter, an effective tax rate that is expected to remain between 17% to 20% for the foreseeable future and significant balance sheet flexibility supporting prospects for future growth.”

     In commenting on the company’s deepwater drillships under construction, Raspino added, “Our strategic decision in 2005 to focus and expand our presence in the deepwater sector will reach a significant milestone during the first quarter of 2010 with the delivery of theDeep Ocean Ascension, the first of four ultra-deepwater drillships under construction. The rig is expected to exit the shipyard in Korea on time and on budget and begin mobilization to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico where it is scheduled to commence a five-year program with BP during the third quarter of 2010 following field testing and client acceptance. The arrival of the rig will mark the company’s entry into the strategically important deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The company’s second ultra-deepwater drillship, theDeep Ocean Clarion, is expected to exit the yard in Korea in August 2010, commencing a five-year contract with BP in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico during January 2011.”

     In closing, Raspino commented on the industry’s deepwater sector, stating, “Despite the low level of client tendering activity that has characterized all offshore sectors since late-2008, including deepwater, the company believes the deepwater sector continues to offer the best prospects for growth over the long term. Deepwater geologic success remains strong, with a record number of 25 discoveries announced by operators in water depths of 4,500 feet and greater during 2009. More than 30% of the announced discoveries were made in basins outside of the traditional areas of deepwater exploration and production drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, Brazil and Angola. As activity and geologic success of these established areas continues to grow, the new basins support the expanding nature and long-term visibility of the deepwater sector. Operator interest is growing as deepwater geologic potential is better understood, supported in part by improved offshore technologies and more accessibility to larger reserves.

The combination of strong hydrocarbon potential and increasingly stable crude oil prices, which have remained above $60 per barrel since mid-July 2009 and have averaged just under $75 per barrel since that time, should continue to support client confidence around long-term planning horizons and higher exploration and development spending. However, the potential spending increase is most likely to occur beyond 2010, with several recent tenders and inquiries from clients implying a growing number of projects with commencement dates in 2011 and beyond.

     “Given our positive long-term outlook, we will continue to evaluate opportunities to expand our presence in the deepwater sector, both in terms of fleet size and geographic reach, while remaining focused on strong safety, operations and project management performance.”

     The company maintained a solid balance sheet through 2009 with cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2009 of $763.1 million, while total debt was $1.2 billion. The debt to total capital ratio was 22%, residing at the low end of the company’s target range of 20% to 40%.

     Net cash flows from operating activities were $95 million during the fourth quarter of 2009 and totaled $627 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. Capital expenditures during the fourth quarter were $296 million and reached $994 million in 2009, including $198 million and $635 million, respectively, of capital expenditures relating to the company’s construction of four ultra-deepwater drillships. Capital expenditures for 2010 are expected to total $1.1 billion, including $793 million associated with the four drillships under construction. At December 31, 2009, approximately $1.4 billion of capital expenditures remained to complete the construction program.

     Deepwater Segment

     Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2009 from the company’s Deepwater Segment, consisting of two drillships and six semisubmersible rigs, were $178.1 million compared to $191.8 million during the third quarter of 2009. Segment earnings from operations and EBITDA were $47.4 million and $67.3 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2009. The results compared to $71.8 million and $90.8 million, respectively, during the preceding quarter in 2009. A decline in average daily revenues to $322,700 during the fourth quarter of 2009 from $343,200 in the preceding quarter was the primary contributor to the reduced financial performance. This decline resulted in part from lower demobilization revenues associated with thePride South Pacificfollowing the rig’s relocation from Congo during the third quarter of 2009, partially offset by a $16,500 per day rate increase on the drillshipPride Angolain accordance with a cost adjustment feature in the current contract. Out-of-service time on the semisubmersible rigPride South Pacific, to complete planned maintenance and upgrades ahead of the commencement in January 2010 of a one-year drilling program offshore Equatorial Guinea (at a dayrate of $321,000), contributed to a slight decrease in utilization during the fourth quarter of 2009 to 75% compared to 76% in the preceding quarter of the year. The out-of-service time on the unit was significantly offset by improved utilization on thePride PortlandandPride Carlos Walter, as well as on thePride North America, which recommenced operations in the eastern Mediterranean in late November following the completion of maintenance and upgrades

that consumed 58 days in the fourth quarter. At January 1, 2010, the company had 100% of the available rig days under contract in 2010, 80% in 2011, 67% in 2012 and 55% in 2013.

     The resilience of the global deepwater sector is expected to be tested in 2010 as new uncommitted capacity enters the fleet at a time when many customers remain cautious regarding incremental deepwater rig commitments. As customers continue to reassess exploration and production spending plans in light of uncertain global economic conditions and oil market fundamentals, a total of 22 uncommitted deepwater rigs are expected to enter the industry by the end of 2011, with five of these rigs expected to be available during 2010. Tendering activity has improved slightly since mid-2009, with deepwater rig needs noted in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and Angola, as well as in Brazil, where up to four units may be immediately required and as many as 28 additional units are needed to address the country’s massive subsalt exploration and development program through 2017. Utilization of the fleet is expected to remain at or around 90% during 2010, with the industry’s highest specification rigs, or those with the capability to operate in water depths of 7,000 feet and greater, possessing large variable deck loads, dynamic positioning and advanced well construction features, near 100%. The near- to intermediate-term outlook for conventionally moored deepwater semisubmersibles is expected to be increasingly challenging in 2010 as four of the industry’s rigs are currently idle worldwide with another 12 units expected to conclude contracts during 2010. The company continues to identify numerous prospects for the deepwater sector in 2011 and beyond, as strong geologic results, an increasing number of multi-year field development programs, global deepwater expansion and improving crude oil fundamentals support an anticipated long-term rise in exploration and production spending by our customers.

     Midwater Segment

     The company’s Midwater Segment, consisting of six semisubmersible rigs, reported revenues of $75.7 million during the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $98.2 million during the preceding quarter of the year. Earnings from operations and EBITDA were $7.9 million and $19.1 million, respectively, during the fourth quarter compared to $25.7 million and $37.0 million, respectively, during the preceding quarter of the year. The lower financial results were due in part to segment utilization of 55% in the fourth quarter compared to 67% in the preceding quarter of the year. The lower utilization was primarily the result of reduced activity on thePride South Seas, which was idle in the quarter following the completion of a contract in August 2009 and theSea Explorer, which completed a mobilization to Brazil, commencing a two year contract on November 14 at a dayrate of $335,000, up from $255,000 per day. Average daily revenues declined to $249,100 during the fourth quarter of 2009 compared to $264,100 in the preceding quarter, as the dayrate increase on theSea Explorerwas more than offset by the absence of deferred revenue received in the third quarter of 2009 by thePride South Atlantic. At January 1, 2010, the company had 67% of the available rig days under contract in 2010, 65% in 2011, 35% in 2012 and 14% in 2013.

     Entering 2010, 14 of the industry’s midwater rigs were idle around the world, including the company’s semisubmersible rigsPride South SeasandPride Venezuela, with another 33 expected to complete contracts during the year. Sector utilization for the industry has declined to approximately 80% and could experience further weakness over the course of the year. Although customer tenders and inquiries have improved since last year, leading to some contract awards,

especially in the North Sea, contract durations are short and existing contract backlogs continue to decline. The sector is also experiencing pressure from more capable conventionally moored deepwater rigs, which frequently pursue contract opportunities in shallower water depths during periods of declining activity, resulting in increased competition for client drilling programs.

     Independent Leg Jackup Segment

     Revenues from the company’s seven independent leg jackup rigs were $43.9 million during the fourth quarter compared to $72.8 million during the preceding quarter of the year. Financial results reflected a reduced level of activity, especially for thePride Tennessee,Pride Wisconsin andPride Pennsylvania, resulting in utilization for the fourth quarter of 56% compared to 92% during the preceding quarter of the year. All three rigs remain idle, with thePride Wisconsincold stacked in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, thePride Pennsylvaniain a Middle East shipyard awaiting word on a potential drilling assignment later in the year, and thePride Tennesseein the U.S. Gulf of Mexico while the company evaluates prospects for work in and outside of the U.S. region. The segment reported earnings from operations of $3.1 million during the fourth quarter of 2009, while EBITDA totaled $10.8 million. The results compared to earnings from operations of $32.6 million and EBITDA of $39.9 million during the third quarter of the year. Average daily revenues in the fourth quarter decreased slightly to $122,500 from $123,100 in the preceding quarter, due principally to the idle status of thePride Tennessee. At January 1, 2010, the company had 26% of the available rig days under contract in 2010, 7% in 2011 and no rig days under contract beyond 2011.

     The company remains cautious regarding the near-term outlook for the jackup rig sector, with the combination of new rig supply and growing rig availability in the existing fleet currently exceeding a modest increase in tendering activity. A total of 33 jackup rigs are expected to complete construction programs in 2010, with an additional 17 units in 2011. An estimated 85% of these new rigs are currently uncommitted. In addition, approximately 47% of the active fleet worldwide should complete contracts during the year.

     Pride International, Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas, operates a fleet of 23 rigs, including two deepwater drillships, 12 semisubmersible rigs, seven jackups and two managed deepwater rigs. The company also has four ultra-deepwater drillships under construction. The company’s floating rig fleet operates primarily offshore Brazil and Angola, and in 2010, will expand into the U.S. Gulf of Mexico deepwater region.

Reconciliation of Earnings before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
(In millions)

We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure for EBITDA is meaningful information that our management considers when making investment decisions. We believe it also provides supplemental information regarding our operating results with respect to both the performance of our fundamental business activities and our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. We also believe investors and analysts commonly use EBITDA as a widely accepted financial indicator to analyze and compare companies on the basis of operating performance that have different financing and capital structures and tax rates. EBITDA is not a substitute for the U.S. GAAP measures of earnings or of cash flow and is not necessarily a measure of the company’s ability to fund its cash needs.
